The superstar actress, who is a UN special envoy, revealed the refugees feared ‘there will be no more of us’ as fighting continues in the country.

Visiting a camp across the border with Jordan on Monday, she added: ‘I am very concerned, the world is very concerned.

‘What is heartbreaking is when they ask you why no one is able to find a solution. What they described is so horrific.’

The 37-year-old’s visit to the Zaatari camp, which is home to about 30,000 Syrians, was aimed at focusing international attention on their plight.

Jolie appeared particularly moved after hearing several stories from children who have escaped the violence.

‘What they described on the ground, hearing it from them is so horrific,” she said.

‘When you meet so many innocent people and civilians, the people of Syria are asking who is on their side. “Who is going to help us as the months go on?”‘

UN refugee head Antonio Guterres said Jordan had taken in 200,000 Syrians and stressed the camp ‘needs massive international funding’ and that its conditions were ‘still not acceptable’.

‘This mission that we are sharing has a key objective,’ he explained.

‘It is to draw attention to the international community to express a much more stronger solidarity with Syrian refugees and the host countries that have kept their borders open to all those fleeing the conflict.’
